Hi, @amsbcn Welcome to the forum.  
This is possible yes. For example, you can find tutorials about movement detection with a webcam [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce-2l2wRqO8&ab_channel=TheCodingTrain) on Daniel Shiffman’s youtube channel. If you would like to use your phone’s camera instead, I’ve written an Android code [here.](https://discourse.processing.org/t/video-webcam-motion-detection-troubles/16153/6) Then you can transmit real-time movement data to a PC over wifi, and use a big screen with your fullscreen app running. A communication code between phone and PC you can find [here](https://discourse.processing.org/t/oscp5-for-the-apde/18402). [Here’s](https://discourse.processing.org/t/display-2-succesive-images/14966/19) a video of the movement detection with a phone. You can invent different types of brushes and so on. So there is enough stuff to start with.
